Howdy. For those of you who have ordered your Yukon/Tahoe/Suburban: What was the time between placing your order and delivery? Has anybody ordered one of these trucks with the nav radio and taken delivery yet? Does anybody have any complaints about their nav system? Thanks.

I Am running 410s and have not changed the stock 20s. I have had the truck in 2w high during the city driving. I am not sure if the truck is stuck in 4x4 mode. I have contacted the dealer and they told me that I should be getting at worst 14mpg. I am running regular unleaded 87. Maybe I should let her break in for another 1000. can anyone else tell me their mpg on the 4x4 LTZ city?

Just be aware that you need to actually do the math on several tankfuls to get an idea of the DIC accuracy. My '02 TrailBlazer DIC reads about 1-1.5 MPG high. Still waiting on the '07. Hope they can get those 20" wheels. My dealer said they now have about 100 nav/radios and rear cameras nationwide.

you defiantly have a problem, the 410’s will bring the MPG down a little, but you should be in the 15-16 range in the city. My 14 with the same engine (less the DOD electronic control) consistently gets 15-16 city – 17-18 highway depending on load and wind. Take her back.

When did you order yours? P placed my order 2 weeks ago. I heard that the nav radios were delayed, did not hear anything about the rear camera or 20 in wheels. Mine has all 3 options. how long have you been waiting, what is the ETA?

dsquare,
 
Someone (Tahoe Owner) told me that the m ileage should improve as the engine breaks in for the first 3 -4 weeks. I had my doubts but he was right.
 
I bought my 07 Tahoe on 3.30.06, the first week was ~ 14.2 mpg which I was a little worried. As of today, I am seeing 15.5 which is becoming encourage. I do about 60% city 40% highway. I expected it to get "a little better".
 
I am actually getting better mpg than my 99 Explorer 6 cyl which was posted as 15/20 and was getting ~ 14 mpg before I retired it.

Sharky,
 
To give you an idea, I placed an order on 2.18.06 and was not picked as of 3.30.06. I too, orederd the NAV, Rear view camera and DVD.
 
The NAV and rear view camera were "constraint" being back order or those pieces need to be redesigned.
 
So, I stopped the order and bought another one of another dealer. I had to sacrafice the full bench rear seats for captain's chairs. But got the other items I wanted.
 
There is a website that shows the contraints and it showed the NAV and Camera delayed. NOT GOOD. I heard that it is delayed till the Summer.
 
However, I LOVE my Tahoe. If you can wait or get one off the lot, it is worth the wait. The looks and commnets are never ending. They are impressed what GM is doing.

2007 Tahoe Z71 info by junglegeorge
Apr 23, 2006 (1:35 pm)

Z71 not LTZ I just found this info at www.ameinfo.com/73994.html
 
The available Z71 Off-Road package (available later in 2006) includes a specifically designed three-piece fascia with a protective, platinum chrome skid plate. It has larger tow hook openings; larger, more prominent fog lamps; and specific grille texture and platinum chrome grille trim. Eighteen-inch wheels and tires also are part of the Off-Road package.
 
The new Tahoe offers additional 18 mm of ground clearance. The Autotrac electronic transfer case is standard on all 4WD Tahoe.

Leaking air and tail light gap...... by rockin_ltz
Apr 23, 2006 (4:06 pm)

I used my remote start this afternoon as we were leaving church to get my LTZ cooled down before we got in it. However, as I approached the rear of the vehicle I noticed that the left tail light lens has about a half to 3/4 inch gap between it and the body. It's the top part of the lens that has this gap...And the right side lens fits snug/flush against the body. While investigating this gap, I noticed quite a bit of air leaking or coming out of the rear window too.
 
Here's a pic of the gap:
 

 
Has anyone else noticed any gaps in the tail light lens and body on their trucks or the air escaping from the windows???
